state-of-the-art technology that allows you to save up to 70% in cooking time and energy while preserving the valuable nutrients in the food. Its highly versatile, user-friendly and colourful design makes cooking easy and delightful! The promise of high quality cookware begins with the material used to create it; Silargan® is an exceptional cookware material discovered from years of research by Silit. Unique to the brand’s cookware, Silargan® is not only extremely durable, it is also anti-bacterial and nickel-free. Mr Hans Nasemann, the Managing Director of WMF Singapore, says: “Silit offers an experience beyond cooking. We incorporate precise and innovative technology and engineering to our products, an area that Germany has become world famous for, so that the cooking experience is enhanced, be it in terms of convenience, aesthetic appeal or quality. Silit’s SICOMATIC® econtrol pressure cooker is one of our best examples of the advanced cookware technology that we have.” 

The SICOMATIC® econtrol pressure cooker is also able to automatically maintain
precise cooking temperatures and at exact pressures according to the chosen
preset cooking level.
Shorter cooking times, combined with Silit’s precise, energy-efficient technology,
means the nutrients in food ingredients and its natural flavours are retained, so you
enjoy tastier, healthier meals.
“Traditionally, soups and stews require four to five hours to be cooked to perfection,”
said Chef Ryan Hong, host of cooking series, Chef for Hire. “With the SICOMATIC®
econtrol pressure cooker, these often time-consuming dishes can be prepared in
one-fifth of the usual time while still producing the original flavours of traditional
recipes. It is this combination of modern technology and traditional tastes that make
the SICOMATIC® econtrol such an enjoyable piece of cookware to have in the
kitchen.” Placing an emphasis on consumers’ safety, Silit ensures that the safety features of
the SICOMATIC® econtrol pressure cooker are enhanced and foolproof. The
pressure cooker is designed such that it cannot be opened unintentionally when
pressurised and prevents unnecessary steam release. The advanced, maintenancefree
safety valve technology assures steam is released gently and gradually,
directing it away from the user. Silargan® – The height of innovative cookware
